She is wearing the small. It worked for Via from when I brought her home to 6 months. Via is now wearing a medium set as small as it would go. It is just a little too big but will not be next week.

First of all thanks for posting this video. So if I understood it correctly, you taught Paige 4 command. Right? I am newbie to dog training so excuse my question and terminology. 🙂 )
The behavior is on preformed when you ask for it. It is preformed when you ask for it. And she does preform a different behavior when you ask for that behavior.
Okay, I just got an email asking for more information.
Properties of cues that have good stimulus control include:
1)The animal understands the cue and responds to the cue promptly every time it is given.
2)You don’t get the behavior in the absence of the cue.
3) You don’t see the behavior in response to some other cue.
4) You don’t get some other behavior in response to the cue.
We want our animals to respond reliably every time the cue is given. However, we often don’t want the behavior when we haven’t ask for it.
For each behavior you teach, it’s good to evaluate how solid the stimulus control should be for the behavior. Are you okay with the animal offering the behavior at other times? Or do you need the animal to perform the behavior only in association with the cue? For some behaviors, you might not care if (or might even want) the animal offering the behavior even without the cue. In those cases, having the behavior under rigid stimulus control might not be as important.
Good info Robin. Made me think, I do not think I have any cues under perfect stimulus control…maybe something like the dog walk or teeter would be some cues that would fit the definition, but even then not 100%
Thank you Robin for posting the video. I would like to point out some good things Lisa did with the belly rub. Lisa was positioned off to the side and not right over the dog and not doing a direct-stare eye contact. also it was not a forced. The puppy offered the behavior and Lisa made Paige feel comfortable and soother, and rewarded her with that nice belly rub.
Her ears crack me up.
what type of harness does she have on? I’ve been trying to find one but there’s so many choices out there I just end up more confused!
She’s so smart!
She is wearing the Halti No Pull Harness that Via out grew.

( I’ve also hand down a Premier Sure Fit tracking harness but we haven’t gone out tracking with Paige and Lisa yet.)
cool, thank you! what size is she wearing?
Hi Robin,
what size is she wearing?

– Send Away
– Recall
– Sit
– Down
All these in less than a month?! Amazing!!
Keep videos/pictures coming! 🙂
Lisa taught them. She also is a dog trainer. None are stimulus control. Sit to say please and for greeting is getting there.
What do you mean by stimulus control?
The behavior is on preformed when you ask for it. It is preformed when you ask for it. And she does preform a different behavior when you ask for that behavior.

Have a look at the Sit Challenge. It addresses train sit to the level of generalization and stimulus control.

She is too cute. I see she loves her belly rubs.
